Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
Mince the garlic cloves finely or crush them using a garlic press.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet potato cubes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the coated sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they roast evenly.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through, until they are tender and nicely caramelized on the edges.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly before transferring them to a serving plate.
If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and added flavor.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Garlicky Sweet Potatoes!
